(You can also record directly to the timeline: open iMovie’s Import preference pane, and enable the Movie Timeline option in the Place Clips In section.) Getting more options with iStopMotionĪlthough nifty, iMovie’s time-lapse feature is pretty bare bones. Then simply move the clip (or clips) to iMovie’s timeline and edit just as you would any other video clips. To stop recording, click on the Import button again. iMovie adds each captured frame to a clip in the Clips pane.
To start recording, click on the Import button in iMovie (if you’re using an iSight, you’ll click on the Record With iSight button). To capture one frame per minute, you’d enter 1800. You’ll be saving your footage directly to your Mac’s hard drive, so you won’t need the tape for this project.ģ0 here (that’s one captured frame for every 30 possible frames of video). To disable this feature, remove the camcorder’s MiniDV tape. Most camcorders turn themselves off if they’re not actively recording.
If you’re using a laptop, make sure it’s plugged into a power outlet. Supply Power Since you’ll be shooting over a long period of time, make sure your camcorder is relying on its AC adapter-not its batteries-for power. If you shoot outside, give your scene a more consistent tone by choosing an overcast day or erecting a temporary shelter, such as an umbrella attached to a tripod. For the best results, augment the room’s overhead lights with a two-light setup: a good directional light (such as a spotlight or a swing-arm lamp) as your main light source, and a softer fill light (such as a table lamp) to lighten shadow areas (see “Time-Lapse Studio”). If you can, shoot your movie indoors, where you’ll have much more control over your lighting. To prevent this from happening, try to keep lighting conditions consistent for the duration of your shoot. Light Your Scene If light varies dramatically from frame to frame, your finished film will look as though it had been shot under a strobe light.
